News : Trace Cyrus blasts dad Billy Ray: 'Lamest man to walk planet Earth'

Trace Cyrus has publicly slammed his dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, in his latest social media rant.

The singer called out his father for missing his maternal grandma's funeral to attend a fashion show.

"This man is so hungry for fame it's pathetic," Trace wrote alongside a photo of the Hannah Montana actor via Instagram.

"He really flew to Italy for a fashion show but wouldn't come to LA for Mammie's funeral while he was still married to my mom."

Trace continued, alleging that "even after his daughter got him a $60k (£44,000) private jet like he demanded," the country star "still didn't come".

"You're the lamest man ever to walk planet earth," Trace continued in the screed. "Honestly embarrassed to have ever considered you my idol."

After inserting a clown emoji, Trace finished, "The best thing to come from your downfall is it made me go into beast mode. I refuse to be a washed-up, delusional, evil person when I'm old like you."

Trace's mum, Tish, divorced Billy Ray in 2022, igniting an ongoing family feud. Tish's mother, Loretta Finley, died in 2020 at the age of 85.

The former couple share kids Brandi, Trace, who Billy Ray adopted when he married Tish, as well as Miley, Braison and Noah.

Billy Ray also has a son, Christopher, from a previous relationship.
